Cops: 2 Plainfield women shot in 'domestic' incident

July 12, 2011

Two women sustained gunshot wounds at a Plainfield home this morning in what police are calling a domestic-related shooting.

A 62-year-old woman was shot in the chest and a 25-year-old woman was shot in the head around 6 a.m. on the 14500 block of General Drive, said Police Chief John Konopek. Both women survived and are being treated at hospitals in Joliet and Aurora.

Police have a 76-year-old man in custody. The incident is believed to be “domestic-related,” but the investigation is ongoing, Konopek said.

Police did not release names of the victims. Further information was not immediately available.
